Simulating an existing (or previously existing) actual human being should be illegal. It's quite literally identity theft.

    Can Lemmy make one of these? It's really my only footprint, I never got into the other platforms, reddit a little, Diaspora didn't really work out. I'd like to stay.

    I'm kidding, that would be too whacked, my death is the end of my existence, the shell that is my means of corporeal ambulation and houses my sapience, those molecules will returned to their universal freedom, no longer bound to the grind of active biology. The phosphates and nitrogens of my dna, which have bound the nucleotide bases of my own special code, can be released and recycled into the loam.
